WIP - 2012 Wrap it up!

2012 is skidding at an alarming speed towards its close, and although I am pretty keen to get cracking on some Christmas craft, I have had a stern talk to myself about finishing off some projects before I begin any new ones. Had this talk with yourself before? So here I am linking up with Lee at Freshly Pieced for a Wednesday WIP confessional. The following projects (plus many more, I'm afraid to say) are lurking in this cupboard.....

And I am giving myself until the 20th of November to finish them off and then I will be able to enjoy my festive season guilt free. So I am declaring my hand people and by the aforementioned date I will have finished......

Putting the borders on this quilt-top. The photo just shows it laid out in blocks, but I have sewn it together now and have managed, through the power of Google, to track down and purchase some border fabric for it.

Making my On A Whim quilt top. I have pieced all of the components of the blocks and am in the process of squaring them up which I am finding totally tedious. I have completed two blocks- this one, and other that I have misplaced - things aren't looking good for that deadline! Fortunately, I have enough fabric to whip up another block if it doesn't turn up.

Putting the borders on my Dad's Carpenter's Star quilt. You can see the quilt here.

I would also like to finish my Crystal star quilt that I have designed using a layer cake in Petite Odile by French General. (This list is starting to seem a bit ambitious)

The list also includes finishing up Scarlett's string quilt.....

This little one has been quilted and I am currently stitching the binding down, so I may even have a wee finish by Friday.

And last but not least is this little tumbling block that I am going to quilt with some straight lines and turn into a cushion for my son's room.
